PS3 Hacker named "graf_chokolo" has managed to install Gentoo Linux on his PS3 Slim internal hard drive.

That's cool but it serves no purpose other than to show he did it.

badz1495541d ago

so? does it run better compared to pc? I don't think so

kyl2775541d ago

That's what I just said, it's cool that he did it but it serves no purpose as it would be better on PC.

badz1495541d ago

this is pointless at best!

Raendom5541d ago

So the reason of the jailbreak - to get back removed features - has ONLY JUST come out? Proof that the jailbreak was for piracy, nothing more.

Queefy_B5541d ago (Edited 5541d ago )

Apparantley graf owns over 100 legit games, it was people using the code to make up backup managers, he never inteded/wanted to use backups.

Tony-Red-Grave5541d ago

i hope graff gt a job a sony i mean that guy did most of the hardwork for hacking the ps3, dont get me wrong i dont support hacking, but if any hacker should work for sony it should be graff>hotz

red2tango5541d ago

you're an idiot. AsBestOS and other linux methods have already been released in the jailbreak a long time ago. This is just graf's method.

is that ok, putting something back on the PS3?.. I dont know.

Edit: this is a question

bozebo5541d ago (Edited 5541d ago )

So if it won't help people pirate ps3 games (apparently), it's only purpose is using Cell for intense number crunching without buying kit off IBM?

I had no idea that hardware hackers cared about things like that...

You can just buy a graphics card at less cost than a ps3 and run computations on that with more gflops under the hood.

Is he just trying to prove a point?

ravinash5541d ago

Is he just trying to prove a point?

Basically yes
But only that he could do it.
No real point other than that.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle29d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde36d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy36d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12536d ago (Edited 36d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga37d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199237d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga37d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman36d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger37d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box37d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion36d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7237d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7537d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit37d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14937d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7737d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
